Even though I plan on changing all devices to also resolve to Family Shield DNS servers (in case they bypass our router by using cellular networks or another wi-fi network), it’s important to set our router to do the same, as it’s the main gate to our internet.
About 2 days ago, I noticed that the content filtering I had setup with OpenDNS was not working. Cisco Umbrella provides fast, reliable internet connectivity, and you can even sign up for our basic DNS monitoring services for free — no strings attached. Thanks to our helpful guides and knowledge base, set up is a breeze. Right click on the device adapter and select Properties to bring up the path Properties, ie: Ethernet Properties, Wifi Properties, etc. Re: OpenDNS Content Filtering not working after Rogers added IPv6 The same applies to other internet filtering companies. Problem solved. I’ve So the best “blanket” solution I’ve thought of so far for content filtering across devices is just to resolve all devices and our router to a “safe” DNS address. If you use OpenDNS's web filtering for a pc or laptop you can turn off IPV6 in that device, and possibly for other devices as well.
Perhaps someone who uses pfSense could provide more insight. That way, all of the devices on the network will be unable to use IPV6. My PCs connected via ethernet have filtering on the PCs so I was just going to try to filter the wireless internet. You should probably download the little utility app for your Windows or Mac OS because your router probably changes its IP address periodically (if it’s a “dynamic” IP address). For the Hitron this is on the Basic / DNS page.With this configuration, all DNS queries will be directed to the OpenDNS filtering servers, and will be done over ipv4 so will have your modem's WAN-facing ipv4 address enabling them to be matched to your OpenDNS Umbrella account and filter settings. Re: OpenDNS Content Filtering not working after Rogers added IPv6 If you have a wifi capable laptop that also has an ethernet port, or that uses a USB to Gigabyte adapter, you will have to do the next steps for both or all adapters. I don't keep track of other router companies in terms of their router capabilities so you would have to so some research if you were considering a product from another company.There is no way for the end user to disable IPV6 in the modems. It’s not going to help with screen-time budgeting, but it will help with preserving a modicum of innocence.
Auto-suggest helps you quickly narrow down your search results by suggesting possible matches as you type. I'm wondering if that can be done by tech support, but I need to know the exact model of modem that you have.

That's what we're here for! In addition, because FamilyShield leverages the OpenDNS content filtering system, the list of sites being blocked is constantly updated, 24/7. For your non-router client devices, like phones, TVs, PCs: Those You’ll need to sign up for a free account to enter stuff like your preferences on how strict you want the filter to be. I asked my wife to tell me if anything weird happens, like difficulty with online shopping carts, browsing problems she normally has no issues with, or social media glitches. I then seeked help of the OpenDNS community and based on some tests it came light that the outgoing traffic from my location has IPv6 addressing now which then does not allow OpenDNS content filtering to work. Often, the preferences are set in your web browser, via a URL with numbers (example: http://192.168.0.1 or http://192.168.1.1). OR How can I just send DNS traffic over at IPv4?There is no way for the end user to disable IPV6 in the modems. Hit Ok at the bottom and then close all of the panels, and reboot the device. I checked the DNS settings on the HITRON CGN3 and nothing was changed there. This wikiHow teaches you how to view Internet sites that are blocked by OpenDNS security. Recursive DNS. If you use OpenDNS's web filtering for a pc or laptop you can turn off IPV6 in that device, and possibly for other devices as well. E.g., if my child has a Surface tablet and a Chromebook–and I want them to have 0.5 hrs screen time on school nights, and 3hrs screen time on weekends–if I put those time limits in the Windows app and the Android app, the kid can use their full limit on the Surface, then their full limit on the Chromebook, effectively doubling the screen time I wanted them to spend.
